Do you remember their last concert? The room got flooded from a faulty roof drain, but the staff at Cafe Amici persevered, and stopped the leaks, and the show went on, all acoustic! We don't expect any problems this time, so come and enjoy the amazing music from these Grammy winning stars.

​​Click photo to hear my fascinating interview with Alice Gerrard.

​​​​

Her legendary duo with Hazel Dickens (photo above from 1967) was just part of an amazing life in music. Her stories about Baltimore and Washington DC music parties, with Bill Monroe, Hazel Dickens, Ola Belle Reed, The Stanley Brothers, Dock Boggs, Tommy Jarrell, Elizabeth Cotten, Mike Seeger, Ralph Rinzler, etc., are just mind blowing.

​

At 90 years old, she continues to lead a full musical life. I'm planning to have her back for part two, there's so much more I need to ask her. She's one of a kind!​
